Begin To Use Your New ESC
Because different transmitters / flying control systems have different throttle ranges, please calibrate the throttle range for each speed controller before flying.
The Throttle Signal HUB is recommended for calibrating the throttle ranges for 4 speed controllers simultaneously instead of one by one.
NOTE:
Throttle range setting: 1. Each speed controller in the Quattro must be programmed separately.
Note: The throttle range of each speed controller in the Quattro should be set separately. When the Quattro is installed in a multi-rotor, you should set the throttle 2. Please make sure the settings for each speed controller in the Quattro are same.

Protection Function z Calibrate throttle range of the 4 ESCs in the Quattro simultaneously.
1. Start up failure protection: If the motor failed to start within 2 seconds of throttle application, the ESC would cut-off the output power. In such a case, the b) To distribute throttle signal to several ESCs
throttle stick MUST be moved to the bottom position again to restart the motor. (Such a situation happens in the following cases: The connection between z Generally, in case of throttle signal distribution, only one ESC has its built-in BEC enabled (or reserved), the BECs in other ESCs must be

2. Over-heat protection: When the temperature of the ESC is higher than 110 Celsius degrees, the ESC will reduce the output power. z Plug the throttle signal wires of 4 ESCs into Port #1 to Port #4 of the throttle Hub.
3. Throttle signal loss protection: The ESC will reduce the output power if the throttle signal is lost for 1 second, further loss for 2 seconds will cause the output Attention! ,QWKHIROORZLQJSLFWXUHWKHSLQVDWWKHV\PERO³6´OLQHDUHWKHSDWKVRIWKURWWOHVLJQDOVWUDQVPLVVLRQ
